' IMPROVEMENT IN CIGAR-PIPES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 169,501, dated November2, 1875; application filed November 7, 1874.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, ROBERT L. WEED, Of thecity, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Cigar-Pipe, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to a device to be used in smoking tobacco inplaces where pipes are objectionable; and consists in a hollow sectional tube, resembling a cigar, made of wood or other suitablematerial, constructed substantially as hereinafter described.

1n the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side view of the cigar-pipe.Fig. 2 is a Ion a tube, through which the smoke is drawn into the mouth,the tobacco being ignited the same as a cigar. The cigar-pipe has everyappearance of a cigar when in use.

Having the middle joint a nd cavity decreasing in both directionstherefrom, the tobacco may be readily compressed by the finger into bothsections, so as to form a filling corresponding to that of a cigar,while the smoker can always secure and know the kind and quality oftobacco which he is about to use.

I am aware that atube in one or two parts has been heretofore used forthe same purpose; but said tube is of a different shape from mine, andnot "so well adapted in construction to the same purpose.

What I claim is- A two-part tobacco-pipe having a middle joint and acavity decreasing therefrom gradually toward each end, as and for thepurpose specified.

ROBERT L. WEED.
